Import Tips
• Document polycarbonate as 'sheeting of plastics' via supplier specs; metal frames are inner structure only
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling hybrid materials—outer visible surface must be plastic dominant
• For EU imports, confirm rigidity testing to distinguish from semi-rigid 4202.12.21.90
